Enlightenment

Together with Mysticism they form magic. The page on mysticism explains it quite well. However the key thing to remember is that Enlightenment is not magic nor is it technology. A human might use a different form of magic, but harnessing the inner energy as devices and tecnology is a form of magic in this world. A machine gun is a potent weapon in the hands of a person who has the appropriate amount of enlightenment, however in the hands of a unenlightened person it is merely a fancy looking toy.

The item and the design is only important in reference to the person using it. Think the matrix here. A person who is enlightened enough knows that he can kill with a stick just as easy as a machine gun. This isn’t as simple as readin it on a piece of paper, but truly believing it deep in your being.
